    Two things I'd like to see:

    1.  A connection_options(<conn>) butiltin that returns the active connection
    options for the specified connection, perhaps in a list like:
    {"binary","client-echo"}

    2.  A do_command(<conn>,<input>) builtin (wizonly of course) that would
    simulate input from the specified connection just as if the player
    emself had typed it.  This would be ESPECIALLY helpful for WWW guests
    whose logged-in connection is just for receiving text and can't send
    input to the MOO(stupid limits of web browsers... grrr...) to allow them
    to still input commands via a form that executes them at the login
    command parser.  (If that made any sense to you) I've heard of a patch
    out there somewhere that implements this builtin, but have yet to find
    it.

    Oh, and in regards to the last paragraph of your note on the bug I found
    today, after reading it I was *really* glad I had immediately shut
    down and reverted back to alpha4.  Maybe next time I'll heed your
    warning about not running alpha versions in a production setting. ;-)
